Park Narodowy Glacier (USA) (Glacier National Park (U.S.))

Park Narodowy Glacier (ang. Glacier National Park) – park narodowy położony w północno-zachodniej części stanu Montana w Stanach Zjednoczonych, przy granicy z Kanadą. Utworzony w 1910 roku park zajmuje powierzchnię 4102 km² i obejmuje swoim zasięgiem dwa pasma górskie w obrębie Gór Skalistych. Na jego obszarze znajduje się kilka dużych – o długości 8-10 km – i kilkaset małych jezior polodowcowych, oraz żyje ponad 1000 gatunków roślin i setki gatunków zwierząt. Znajduje się w nim również kilkadziesiąt lodowców, od których wywodzi się nazwa parku. W porze letniej występują liczne wodospady i kaskady utworzone z bardziej obfitych wód roztopowych. Park zarządzany jest przez agencję federalną National Park Service, jest otwarty przez cały rok i odwiedzany przez około 2 miliony turystów rocznie.
Na północy Park Narodowy Glacier graniczy z Parkiem Narodowym Waterton Lakes położonym w Kanadzie. Łącznie oba parki, powołane do życia w obliczu zagrożenia środowiska przyrodniczego w II połowie XIX wieku przez poszukiwaczy złota, ropy naftowej i innych bogactw naturalnych, tworzą ustanowiony w 1932 roku Międzynarodowy Park Pokoju Waterton-Glacier. W 1976 roku został on uznany za rezerwat biosfery UNESCO, a w 1995 roku wpisany na listę światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO.

  • Wow. Truly breathtaking. My absolutely most favorite park, ever. There are not enough pictures that could describe the beauty this park holds and is. There are so many waterfalls, hiking trails, and gorgeous scenery, that you can spend a week here easily. The west side of the park looks like the pictures, and the east is a bit more dry, but still gorgeous. Very highly recommend. If you don’t want to pay the park fees, you can enter before and after hours as well! (Check their website if they are still doing this) At the top, there is a very popular trail, but the parking lot is very full quickly, so be prepared to go very early or after hours if you want yo get a good parking spot. They do not allow dogs on trails though, so keep that in mind if you travel with yours. Overall amazing park and experience.

  • Glacier National Park was worth the 6 hour flight, wow is it amazing. I've seen it in winter and in summer now, this is a place I can keep coming back to every year and never have enough. We will definitely be back in the summer.

  • It is one of the most amazing parks that I have ever been to!!! I was there at a very beautiful time of summer, and I was absolutely amazed!!! There is nothing quite like Glacier! With it’s many cool water falls and the rocky/green mountain slopes! And I got to experience close up wild life along the hiking trial! It is just a matter of time before my next trip there!

  • Amazing park. November is off season for this place and a lot of roads/hikes closed or unacceptable. But those which are open are astonishing! Truly recommend 👌

  • Truly takes your breath away, my favorite national park. Highly recommend the highline trail, hidden lake, grinnel glacier, and iceberg lake in either August or September. Bear spray and lots of water and snacks recommended.

  • Have been here twice now, and will be back soon. Lots of beauty in GNP. Even at busy months you can get away from people. Great place to see mountains, lakes, wildlife and catch some clean air. People worry a lot about bears, but the cold water is a bigger threat. Just don’t surprise and/or harass the bears and they’ll leave you alone. I have encountered goats, moose, and bears hearing during each of my visits, never had an issue. Before you go, always plan ahead. Check the weather & check trail information. One day along the trail the weather went from a sunny warm day to snow. Then, when we thought many glaciers or another trail was open, we found it was in fact closed. The weather can flip quickly, so be prepared. Trails can close due to bears and other times due to late season road repairs or early season snow. Snow check before you go
